Teck creates composable advantage to enhance efficiency across its business operations

The composable system aligns platforms to improve productivity, safety, and efficiency, and provides data for better decision-making. The RBS project uses hundreds of APIs to move data between the various systems using a publish-and-subscribe model that makes information readily available.

“Any time we have a new need that is not met by one of our current platforms, we can always add another platform that will provide a specialized piece and we can integrate it easily to work across all of our platforms.”

Teck was historically a waterfall deployment shop, but it chose an agile path with RBS nearly three years ago. Now it creates smaller deployments and more rapidly addresses problems presented by business customers. The agile approach required composable ERP..

“As we looked across multiple platforms, multiple implementation partners, and the need to integrate, an Agile practice was the only way that we were going to be able to make everything come together at the same time.”

Renew Business Systems sits at the middle of Teck’s business. It integrates business information, sensor data, and other readings to deliver information such as dynamic depreciations to run preventative maintenance and other time-based or meter-based readings.
 
“One of our core platforms specifically deals with health, safety, environment, and community engagement. In addition, our maintenance and asset platform is capturing sensor data to do things like monitor our carbon statistics.”
